On December 10, 2006, General Pinochet dies unexpectedly in Santiago’s Military Hospital. For 24 hours, his death reawakens the political divisions that marked Chile’s recent history with death and violence. Using original footage and the testimonies of four characters who lived through that day of profound contrasts, the film relates the end of a key chapter in Chile’s history. Fun and provocative, The Death of Pinochet is an intimate and surprising portrait of Chilean society. With undeniable historical, social and political importance, this moving film expresses the vitality of a nation.
"Fun, provocative and over the top, the film explores in an intimate and raw way a side of Chilean history rarely shown on film." — The Film Society of Lincoln Center
"Politics highlight the contrasts between documentary and fiction, between staging and spontaneous record, between life and death, between individual and crowd." — Beatriz Urraca, Cine Documental
"The directors make visually literalist the notion of vox pops, creating a simple, blunt poetry of revelatory visual details." — Michael Vazquez, HuffPost
"The film narrates the ending of a key chapter in Chilean history in an innovative, exciting way." — Warsaw International Film Festival
"The documentary follows the characters in an intelligent and fluid way. It lets them be and does not judge...Original, very well done and unprejudiced, allowing the luxury of both humor and the ridiculous, even with such a shocking and complex topic." — Florencia E. Gonzàlez, Leedor
"A unique and disturbing documentary, a grotesque world that can only be obtained through keen observation and a desire to marvel at the reality, without prejudice or preconceived speeches." — La Segunda
"Osnovikoff and Perut operate from an insolent, transgressive spirit to create a film that makes no concessions for viewers or strong formal experimentation. They use several styles of documentation without allowing themselves to get boxed in... The Death of Pinochet is an exploration into the alienation triggered by a historical event in a shaken city. There are mad impulses to the failure of memory that expresses itself in the strength of the language of the film makers. They use a visual language that renews the critical perspective and leaves a precedent in documentary film making, a genre that is on the rise in Chile." — Susana Díaz, Berrios Corte Irracional
"Osnovikoff and Perut plunge us into an irreconcilably split Chile, with the intention of provoking argument over the notions of homeland, dictatorship, and democracy. As some of those interviewed say, "Augusto continues to live," a benchmark of patriotism for some, a genocidal butcher for others." —Maria Bertoni, Espectadores

00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:19.033
I know well that I don't matter
00:03:19.033 --> 00:03:21.900
but the day I die you'll shatter
00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:24.533
and then you'll cry over me.
00:03:24.533 --> 00:03:27.033
You'll cry over me.
00:03:29.833 --> 00:03:32.267
You'll say you didn't love me
00:03:32.267 --> 00:03:34.967
but you will be really sad
00:03:34.967 --> 00:03:37.733
and this is how you will stay.
00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:41.933
With my pockets full or empty
00:03:41.933 --> 00:03:45.867
I just do whatever is tempting
00:03:45.867 --> 00:03:49.900
and my word is the law.
00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:53.333
I haven't got a throne nor a queen
00:03:53.333 --> 00:03:56.133
nor anyone that could understand me
00:03:56.133 --> 00:04:00.700
but I'll always be the king!
00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:04.233
Stay strong Pinochet!
00:04:09.867 --> 00:04:12.000
The situation is quite alarming
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.933
according to this last medical report
that I'm about to read.
00:04:15.933 --> 00:04:19.000
I quote: 'Concerning the
former President's health
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.867
he has gone under a angioplasty surgery
00:04:21.867 --> 00:04:24.000
in order to revasculate his myocardium.
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.167
A heart surgery with a wide open sternum,
a heart that paralyzes,
00:04:28.167 --> 00:04:31.267
blood flow being regulated
by an external machine
00:04:31.267 --> 00:04:35.167
so a bypass procedure can be done.
00:04:35.167 --> 00:04:38.500
An extremely complex surgical operation
00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:41.600
but that it has shown good results
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.033
in people even older than General Pinochet
00:04:45.033 --> 00:04:47.733
and with less severe symptoms.
00:04:47.733 --> 00:04:50.833
At first I didn't go to the hospital.
00:04:50.833 --> 00:04:52.833
I would listen to the news on the radio
00:04:52.833 --> 00:04:57.433
believing that he was going to recover
00:04:57.433 --> 00:05:01.233
and stay with us for a longer time.
00:05:01.233 --> 00:05:05.067
That was my wish
and I wanted it to come true.
00:05:05.667 --> 00:05:08.333
That day I was at...
00:05:08.333 --> 00:05:10.733
I was in Puente... Here in Puente Alto.
00:05:12.533 --> 00:05:16.100
That day I had a lot of things to do but...
00:05:16.900 --> 00:05:19.733
In the end, I had nothing to do.
Nothing at all.
00:05:20.167 --> 00:05:22.100
Go! Go! Go!
00:05:24.133 --> 00:05:26.867
Closer to the curb!
00:05:31.433 --> 00:05:34.967
I had made some big bucks
the day before.
00:05:35.633 --> 00:05:38.900
And I was looking for a 'pilot'...
00:05:39.867 --> 00:05:44.000
A drinking buddy to
have some drinks with.
00:06:06.433 --> 00:06:10.167
I got up, had a shower...
00:06:10.167 --> 00:06:14.433
No, I mean I just washed my face,
my hands, put some cream on.
00:06:14.433 --> 00:06:18.300
I took my Chihuahua dogs out
and fed my birds.
00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:22.767
Come here!
00:06:37.233 --> 00:06:44.633
And then, the radio news was
constantly informing about Pinochet.
00:06:44.633 --> 00:06:49.500
That he was at the hospital
and was getting worse.
00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:53.467
But I thought:
'Can it be true that he's sick?'
00:07:11.067 --> 00:07:13.267
That's why I'm telling you man...
00:07:13.267 --> 00:07:17.067
The camera is connected properly,
why aren't you receiving a signal?
00:07:18.467 --> 00:07:19.700
Here he comes!
00:07:20.967 --> 00:07:22.433
He is coming out right now!
00:07:23.033 --> 00:07:27.400
-How's general Pinochet's health condition?
-Is it critical?
00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:28.933
How is he developing?
00:07:28.933 --> 00:07:31.600
He has been developing well so far.
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.200
How long is the post surgery stage?
00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:35.967
24 hours? 10?
00:07:35.967 --> 00:07:37.933
The first 24, 48 hours are critical.
00:07:37.933 --> 00:07:41.100
If he goes through the first 24 hours,
can we say he will fully recover?
00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:44.333
We need to wait for 24,
48 hours to say that.
00:07:47.033 --> 00:07:49.900
So then, I could feel something was up.
00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:59.767
And I said: 'No! Today I break the routine.
Today... I'll go see my General, goddamn it.'
00:08:12.467 --> 00:08:15.267
And I went to the Military Hospital.
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.433
Three bottles of wine, straight up.
00:08:19.433 --> 00:08:23.333
So I don't have to order one by one.
Three bottles straight up.
00:09:02.633 --> 00:09:05.333
And news kept coming
about General Pinochet.
00:09:05.333 --> 00:09:08.400
That he was seriously ill,
00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:11.667
that his vital signs were fading out.
00:09:11.667 --> 00:09:14.400
Things were looking bad.
00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:23.267
They didn't want
to say that he was dying!
00:09:23.267 --> 00:09:27.900
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
00:09:27.900 --> 00:09:33.133
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
00:09:33.133 --> 00:09:38.333
Holy Mary mother of God
pray for us sinners,
00:09:38.333 --> 00:09:41.367
now and at the hour
of our death, Amen.
00:09:41.367 --> 00:09:44.567
To our Father Almighty,
who manages everything,
00:09:44.567 --> 00:09:46.867
who gives and takes away life,
00:09:46.867 --> 00:09:49.300
give us life for our General.
00:09:49.300 --> 00:09:52.100
Our father, who art in heaven,
00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:54.667
hallowed by thy name.
00:09:54.667 --> 00:09:56.967
Thy kingdom come.
00:09:56.967 --> 00:10:01.800
Thy will be done on
earth as it is on heaven.
00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:08.167
Stay strong my General!
00:10:08.167 --> 00:10:10.400
I took a cab.
00:10:10.400 --> 00:10:14.233
When I got in, both me
and the driver were silent.
00:10:16.400 --> 00:10:20.133
But I knew that he was
thinking the same as me.
00:10:20.133 --> 00:10:24.633
So when he asked me:
'Where should I drive you to?'
00:10:24.633 --> 00:10:27.400
I told him: 'To the Military Hospital.'
00:10:27.400 --> 00:10:29.700
'I see', he replied...
00:10:43.467 --> 00:10:45.867
...and he said:
'You are going to see my General.
00:10:45.867 --> 00:10:49.633
You know what?
Is crowded out there!'
00:10:49.633 --> 00:10:53.167
'Sure', I said. 'Because people
love good leaders.'
00:10:53.167 --> 00:10:55.733
And that's how we
went about talking away.
00:10:55.733 --> 00:10:57.567
And who were we talking about?
00:10:57.567 --> 00:10:58.900
My General Pinochet.
00:11:07.733 --> 00:11:14.567
To die fighting!
But never a damned marxist!
00:11:14.567 --> 00:11:17.633
Communist faggots!
00:11:17.633 --> 00:11:20.633
Your relatives were killed
'cause you're all assholes!!
00:11:26.867 --> 00:11:28.433
And don't forget something:
00:11:28.433 --> 00:11:31.433
The first man in the world
to defeat communism
00:11:31.433 --> 00:11:33.933
and who told the world that freedom
lies within the right-wing
00:11:33.933 --> 00:11:35.233
was General Pinochet.
00:11:35.233 --> 00:11:39.600
Neither the USA nor the USSR
said no to communism.
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.033
General Pinochet did it damn it!
Long live Chile!
00:11:43.967 --> 00:11:45.500
Good! Good!
00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:56.533
More than to talk to him,
to be honest, I wanted to look at him.
00:12:06.367 --> 00:12:08.367
I wanted to see him.
00:12:08.367 --> 00:12:12.667
I knew that by staring at
each other we could say a lot.
00:12:12.667 --> 00:12:17.000
Because I believe humans
are able to say things
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.300
faster and better
with the eyes than with words.
00:12:21.300 --> 00:12:24.033
Words are slow compared to thoughts.
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.567
I was drinking...
00:12:38.567 --> 00:12:41.167
I was on...
00:12:41.167 --> 00:12:43.933
...on the third bottle... of wine.
00:12:44.633 --> 00:12:46.433
...On the third bottle of wine.
00:12:46.433 --> 00:12:48.933
So I boiled the chicken and
cooked some vegetables
00:12:48.933 --> 00:12:51.333
and we were happily having lunch
00:12:51.333 --> 00:12:54.533
with my husband and my mother.
00:12:54.533 --> 00:12:56.100
We were watching the news...
00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:58.667
Updates were getting more frequent.
00:12:58.667 --> 00:13:04.633
They weren't even
updates anymore, I mean...
00:13:04.633 --> 00:13:09.600
It seemed to be true,
the guy was really dying.
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.500
One of the hospital windows is opened...
00:13:15.567 --> 00:13:18.233
...and the sad news arrive.
00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:21.933
We are told General Pinochet...
00:13:24.333 --> 00:13:28.767
...went through the final phase.
General Pinochet passed away.
00:13:29.033 --> 00:13:30.167
He died.
00:13:44.300 --> 00:13:47.833
And he didn't commit suicide!
00:14:04.533 --> 00:14:06.700
Those who cried over Pinochet!
00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:10.000
They should cry over a
dead relative not a tyrant!
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:15.033
He was considered the bloodiest
man in Chile's history.
00:14:15.033 --> 00:14:18.667
And people were crying
like if an angel had died!
00:14:18.667 --> 00:14:23.267
For us it was the Devil himself dying!
The guy just had to die!
00:14:23.267 --> 00:14:28.933
I started dancing and jumping
and screaming! I couldn't believe it!
00:14:28.933 --> 00:14:31.500
So good that the guy died!
00:14:33.067 --> 00:14:35.300
When the big news broke down,
00:14:36.167 --> 00:14:38.900
I broke down in tears with my whole self
00:14:38.900 --> 00:14:40.633
because crying is relief.
00:14:41.433 --> 00:14:44.800
So I cried and I cried with my head down.
00:14:45.233 --> 00:14:46.667
Alone and silent.
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:50.667
I wanted to be alone.
00:14:50.667 --> 00:14:54.600
Even surrounded by people I felt alone,
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.733
being one with the love of General Pinochet.
00:15:11.467 --> 00:15:13.433
It was my niece.
00:15:13.433 --> 00:15:17.567
She hugs me and says:
'Auntie, General Pinochet died!
00:15:17.567 --> 00:15:20.667
It's terrible! Hell is gonna break loose!
We have to stock up!
00:15:20.667 --> 00:15:23.533
We have to take care of ourselves!
Now it's our turn!'
00:15:23.533 --> 00:15:29.667
I said: 'Darn, I hope not, we were just fine.
00:15:29.667 --> 00:15:33.033
No crime, everything was quiet.
00:15:33.033 --> 00:15:36.633
I hope nothing happens!
I wonder how is Mrs. Lucia doing!?
00:15:36.633 --> 00:15:40.167
Now they will be happy
because he finally died.
00:15:40.167 --> 00:15:43.433
All they wanted was
to shoot him. Kill him'.
00:15:43.433 --> 00:15:47.033
She said: 'Thank God
he is resting in peace now'.
00:15:47.033 --> 00:15:50.967
Lower the flags! Lower the flags!
00:15:54.667 --> 00:15:58.133
Pinochetists will never forget
what they did to my General!
00:15:58.133 --> 00:16:01.200
He is a martyr! He will never die!
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.700
He is like the Furher! He is a hero!
Viva Chile damn it!
00:16:04.700 --> 00:16:07.333
Viva the young Pinochetists!
00:16:07.333 --> 00:16:11.700
My 70 year old grandma!
Her ranch expropiated!
00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:13.733
We had to defend it!
00:16:13.733 --> 00:16:16.800
Farms were left behind!
There wasn't a thing to eat!
00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:18.533
Please tell the truth!
00:16:18.533 --> 00:16:21.500
Pinochet was a great man
and history will acknowledge this!
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:26.067
I'm 34 years old! I grew up during the
dictatorship and the country was way better!
00:16:26.067 --> 00:16:30.533
We didn't have this level of crime
and unemployment! Of bullshit!
00:16:30.533 --> 00:16:35.367
There's more corruption now
than in Pinochet's era!
00:16:35.933 --> 00:16:40.533
If they complain about the murdered,
there were in both sides!
00:16:40.533 --> 00:16:43.067
Left-wingers are murderers!
00:16:44.067 --> 00:16:47.433
Pinochet will always live
in the heart of all Chileans!
00:16:47.433 --> 00:16:48.700
Viva Chile damn it!
00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:51.700
It was a weird thing.
00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:56.867
The media was there and
I was being interviewed.
00:16:56.867 --> 00:17:01.633
I would be lying if I said
I didn't want to be interviewed.
00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:04.767
Hear me out!
00:17:04.767 --> 00:17:08.833
Today Pinochet did not die!
00:17:08.833 --> 00:17:13.333
Because Pinochet's legacy will be forever
00:17:13.333 --> 00:17:16.167
and Pinochetism
will triumph again in Chile!
00:17:16.167 --> 00:17:18.633
Mark my words!
00:17:18.633 --> 00:17:26.000
Time gives men like him
the status they deserve!
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.067
Today Pinochet did not die!
00:17:28.067 --> 00:17:30.800
I wanted to speak my mind up.
00:17:30.800 --> 00:17:35.667
To tell them that death didn't exist!
00:17:35.667 --> 00:17:42.000
That General Pinochet
would exist forever for Chile!
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:48.700
We are sad but we know
these men don't die!
00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:51.633
Pinochet is immortal!
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:05.900
General Pinochet!
We are fighting in your name!
00:18:08.067 --> 00:18:10.933
So we got to the first row
and I was like:
00:18:10.933 --> 00:18:15.567
'Mrs. Lucía Pinochet,
be strong! We are with you!'
00:18:15.567 --> 00:18:18.467
Because the time of the crooks is over!
00:18:18.467 --> 00:18:24.433
Our founding fathers are long gone!
Only cowards now, Mrs. Lucía!
00:18:24.433 --> 00:18:27.333
With him it was clean, no rapes, nothing!
00:18:27.333 --> 00:18:30.567
Under this regime everything is full of filth!
00:18:30.567 --> 00:18:35.433
Criminals! Kidnappings! Rapes!
00:18:35.433 --> 00:18:38.267
The government's crooks Mrs. Lucía!
00:18:38.267 --> 00:18:41.833
'Thanks to you' I said, 'I got my flowers,
00:18:41.833 --> 00:18:44.867
my kiosk, my money,
00:18:44.867 --> 00:18:48.333
education for my kids,
the three of them are engineers'.
00:18:48.333 --> 00:18:51.167
I got my kiosk in Plaza de Armas!
00:18:51.167 --> 00:18:53.567
All thanks to you Mrs. Lucía!
00:18:53.567 --> 00:18:56.700
I sell the flowers I make myself!
00:18:56.700 --> 00:19:00.100
And I don't feel any shame
being a Pinochetist!
00:19:00.100 --> 00:19:03.667
I will never feel shame!
Never Mrs. Lucía!
00:19:03.667 --> 00:19:06.600
I will never feel ashamed
of being a Pinochetist!
00:19:07.233 --> 00:19:08.633
Until death!
00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:10.600
Forever!
00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:14.400
Go see me at the Plaza de Armas, Lucía!
00:19:16.900 --> 00:19:18.433
I'll be waiting for you!
00:19:18.433 --> 00:19:21.800
I owe you my three sons being engineers!
00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:24.933
Thank you for giving me the kiosk!
00:19:24.933 --> 00:19:29.400
I don't care what any motherfucker
has to say about it!
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.800
Thanks to you Lucía!
00:19:30.800 --> 00:19:38.000
I walked behind the people,
like trying to collect all their feelings.
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.867
With sadness but also with satisfaction.
00:19:41.867 --> 00:19:47.400
Why satisfaction? Because
despite they were trying to hide it,
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.667
it was evident that
the people of Chile loved,
00:19:51.667 --> 00:19:55.067
loves and will love
forever this great man.
00:19:55.067 --> 00:19:59.067
Allende died like a soldier!
He resisted the bombing,
00:19:59.067 --> 00:20:05.000
the assault by the Tacna regiment,
the infantry,
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.000
the air force, and the security agents.
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.733
Pinochet, on the other hand, died in bed.
00:20:11.733 --> 00:20:18.067
He should have died fighting,
or at least to shot himself!
00:20:18.067 --> 00:20:21.067
He should have died like a soldier.
00:20:21.067 --> 00:20:28.933
Gentle homeland, accept the vows
00:20:28.933 --> 00:20:36.400
Given by Chile on your altars.
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.667
That you be either the tomb of the free
00:20:40.667 --> 00:20:44.600
or a refuge from oppression.
00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:09.000
Honor and glory forever Pinochet!
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.167
Our saviour! With your pros and cons!
00:21:12.167 --> 00:21:14.367
Honor and glory Pinochet!
00:21:14.367 --> 00:21:17.900
Viva Chile damn it!
00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:46.167
I was drinking my third bottle of wine
00:21:46.167 --> 00:21:49.533
when I was told that Pinochet had died.
00:21:49.533 --> 00:21:56.367
I kept my head down,
feeling happiness but also...
00:21:57.100 --> 00:22:01.200
...feeling happiness but also sadness.
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.000
We got to Santiago
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.667
and the first thing we did was to party.
00:22:33.800 --> 00:22:38.000
I had never celebrated nobody's death
with such magnitude.
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.233
It was like the national football team
winning a match.
00:22:42.233 --> 00:22:46.433
The left-wing was happy
that the tyrant had died.
00:22:46.433 --> 00:22:50.500
It's a carnival! It's a carnival!
00:22:51.567 --> 00:22:54.100
The general has died!
00:23:13.433 --> 00:23:18.633
People couldn't believe it was true.
00:23:18.633 --> 00:23:20.467
But it was true!
00:23:20.467 --> 00:23:23.867
It was true the guy had died!
00:23:23.867 --> 00:23:26.767
Joy poured from my heart
00:23:26.767 --> 00:23:30.300
mixed with all my anger and resentment.
00:23:30.300 --> 00:23:35.233
I felt happy about the death of Pinochet.
00:23:35.233 --> 00:23:39.200
Not that I rejoice someone's death
but he wasn't just a person.
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:40.900
He was more than a person!
00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:43.600
Pinochet has died!
00:23:57.567 --> 00:24:03.100
He died! Finally!
00:24:03.100 --> 00:24:07.867
When I found out
that people were celebrating
00:24:07.867 --> 00:24:11.567
drinking champagne, waving flags
00:24:11.567 --> 00:24:14.867
and shouting: 'Murderer!
The murderer is dead!'
00:24:14.867 --> 00:24:17.700
I said to myself:
There is no respect, no compassion.
00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:19.333
There is nothing!
00:24:19.333 --> 00:24:23.833
How is it possible for people
to shout stuff like this?
00:24:23.833 --> 00:24:26.900
I remember perfectly
00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:28.667
and listen to this:
00:24:28.667 --> 00:24:31.000
On the 11th, 1973,
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.633
when Allende died,
00:24:33.633 --> 00:24:39.533
it never even crossed my mind
to celebrate it
00:24:39.533 --> 00:24:43.433
or to think of it as a reason to be happy
00:24:43.433 --> 00:24:48.967
and uncork champagne bottles
like other people were.
00:24:48.967 --> 00:24:52.133
On the contrary.
I think Allende suffered a lot.
00:24:52.133 --> 00:24:53.500
Before and after.
00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:08.100
And that's when the media arrived,
00:25:08.100 --> 00:25:10.933
so I jumped in like a cat
00:25:10.933 --> 00:25:13.933
with all my resentment,
my joy and my anger.
00:25:13.933 --> 00:25:18.733
-Comrade Salvador Allende!
-Present!
00:25:22.133 --> 00:25:24.233
-Now!
-And always!
00:25:24.233 --> 00:25:26.533
-Until victory!
-Always!
00:25:26.533 --> 00:25:29.000
Now the tyrant is gone,
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.267
who kept chileans in misery
00:25:33.267 --> 00:25:36.033
and humiliation for 17 years.
00:25:36.033 --> 00:25:37.700
Now the people is here
00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:41.133
representing themselves on the streets!
Comrades full of joy!
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:46.467
As the fascists did
on September 11th, 1973,
00:25:46.467 --> 00:25:49.467
drinking beer, whisky and cognac
00:25:49.467 --> 00:25:52.300
and every famous liquor
at the Carrera Hotel,
00:25:52.300 --> 00:25:56.900
now the people is here
asking for freedom!
00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:59.667
Viva comrade Salvador Allende!
00:25:59.667 --> 00:26:02.100
The fascists celebrated Allende's death
00:26:02.100 --> 00:26:04.367
with whisky and champagne
at the Carrera Hotel.
00:26:04.367 --> 00:26:07.367
I saw that. I saw it with my own eyes.
00:26:07.367 --> 00:26:10.567
The guys were dancing and drinking
whisky and champagne.
00:26:10.567 --> 00:26:12.500
I lived that.
00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:14.367
At the time of the military coup
00:26:14.367 --> 00:26:17.367
I had been drafted into the Tacna regiment
00:26:17.367 --> 00:26:19.133
and I had to go into the Carrera Hotel
00:26:19.133 --> 00:26:21.467
and the guys were there celebrating,
00:26:21.467 --> 00:26:23.433
drinking champagne and whisky.
00:26:41.967 --> 00:26:46.400
If you don't jump you are Pinochet!
00:27:00.333 --> 00:27:03.200
So a drink here and little party there,
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.467
and suddenly I'm in the middle
of the Pinochet celebration.
00:27:07.467 --> 00:27:11.767
If you don't jump you are Pinochet!
00:27:14.067 --> 00:27:17.900
The people isn't happy because
this motherfucker didn't die properly!
00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:22.133
It's a shame for the revolution!
00:27:22.133 --> 00:27:26.000
He should have died
by the hands of the people!
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.333
That would have been fair!
00:27:29.333 --> 00:27:32.867
Not the way that dammned fucker died!
He didn't pay for anything!
00:27:32.867 --> 00:27:39.933
I want to say cheers for that old
motherfucker that has died today!
00:27:39.933 --> 00:27:43.400
And for all those Chileans
that have been buried
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:48.833
and gone missing
in the space without a trace!
00:27:48.833 --> 00:27:56.067
For them, the Chilean people is here!
00:27:56.067 --> 00:27:59.933
Who gives justice?
God or the Devil?
00:27:59.933 --> 00:28:02.867
Who? We won't know!
00:28:02.867 --> 00:28:06.833
He died without justice being done!
That's the injustice!
00:28:06.833 --> 00:28:10.567
And Chilean society will pay for this
sooner or later!
00:28:10.567 --> 00:28:13.733
These people, what about
their horrendous crimes?
00:28:13.733 --> 00:28:17.800
What about the leftist radicals
who beat landowners to death
00:28:17.800 --> 00:28:21.667
because they didn't surrender their lands?
00:28:21.667 --> 00:28:25.633
What about when they did tie up
a mother with barbwire
00:28:25.633 --> 00:28:29.633
and raped her daughter in front of her?
00:28:29.633 --> 00:28:35.267
These are things that happened
and have been written in stone.
00:28:35.267 --> 00:28:39.033
The man who raped a little girl,
who bled a mother to death...
00:28:39.033 --> 00:28:42.400
Has any human rights left at all?
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.167
What consideration can we have for him?
00:28:45.167 --> 00:28:48.767
I don't think General Pinochet
has done anything wrong.
00:28:48.767 --> 00:28:51.067
I never saw him either firing a weapon
00:28:51.067 --> 00:28:53.700
or giving out orders to kill people.
00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:55.767
I never saw that!
00:28:55.767 --> 00:28:59.233
That makes me angry and I wonder
00:28:59.233 --> 00:29:04.067
why are people constantly blaming him
00:29:04.067 --> 00:29:07.567
for the actions of his subordinates?
00:29:07.567 --> 00:29:13.033
If I’ve got a maid, and the maid from
next door says, “Lend me some sugar”,
00:29:13.033 --> 00:29:16.633
my maid will give her some but that’s
just between them. I didn’t know about it
00:29:16.633 --> 00:29:20.800
and neither did my neighbour.
That’s what must have happened here.
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.867
And there I was, drinking champagne
and this and that...
00:29:35.767 --> 00:29:38.433
Long story short, I bump into you guys.
00:29:40.667 --> 00:29:43.933
First time I come from
Puente Alto to Santiago.
00:29:43.933 --> 00:29:47.700
I'm here because a former president died.
00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:52.067
He died and we will keep on
fighting for all our lives.
00:29:52.067 --> 00:29:55.500
-Who died?
-Pinocchio.
00:29:55.500 --> 00:30:01.633
But he died of old, the fucker,
not by the people!
00:30:01.633 --> 00:30:06.533
Motherfucker didn't pay
for anything while alive!
00:30:06.533 --> 00:30:09.800
Now he is paying his dues in hell!
00:30:15.533 --> 00:30:19.267
If you don't jump you are Pinochet!
00:30:21.600 --> 00:30:24.667
The dog has died!
00:31:03.967 --> 00:31:07.867
After the party I ended up feeling ill.
00:31:07.867 --> 00:31:13.400
I was brought back to Puente Alto
and I carried on drinking here.
00:31:14.967 --> 00:31:17.667
Drinking wine.
00:31:17.667 --> 00:31:21.633
Since I was drinking I didn't go to work.
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:24.833
La intención de los partidarios de
Pinochet es crear un evento majetuoso.
00:32:24.833 --> 00:32:29.533
En este preciso momento
hay miles de personas
00:32:29.533 --> 00:32:32.800
a la espera de dar
su último adiós al general.
00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:35.967
Entendemos que el funeral será
una ceremonia bella y majestuosa.
00:32:35.967 --> 00:32:39.700
Los detractores de Pinochet
han sido convocados a manifestarse
00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:43.867
a la misma hora en la que
se desarrollará la ceremonia fúnebre,
00:32:43.867 --> 00:32:46.700
aquí mismo, en la
Escuela Militar de Santiago.
00:32:46.700 --> 00:32:51.067
Es por esto que se considera inevitable
00:32:51.067 --> 00:32:54.567
que se produzcan actos violentos
durante las manifestaciones.
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:10.367
If you don't jump you are fat Bachelet!
00:33:28.633 --> 00:33:33.467
The doors were closed
and the people was pressing.
00:33:33.833 --> 00:33:38.533
I was worried they wouldn't let me in
00:33:38.533 --> 00:33:43.067
so I could get close to the casket.
00:33:43.067 --> 00:33:46.633
I needed to see him physically
for one last time.
00:34:07.233 --> 00:34:12.567
A soldier told me to try another entrance.
00:34:12.567 --> 00:34:16.367
And I did it and finally I got in.
00:34:16.367 --> 00:34:21.867
Once inside I walked fast
to reach my General's casket.
00:35:43.200 --> 00:35:48.267
We were getting really close when
people started shouting really loud.
00:35:50.167 --> 00:35:55.033
So I ask around:
'What's going on over there?'
00:35:55.033 --> 00:36:00.133
My niece says:
'Somebody spit on Pinochet's casket!'
00:36:00.133 --> 00:36:02.667
I said: 'Unbelievable!
Who was it?
00:36:02.667 --> 00:36:05.700
How can people be like this?'
00:36:05.700 --> 00:36:11.200
'You just don't know who
is around you anymore', she said.
00:36:11.200 --> 00:36:16.967
It was the perfect chance
to spit on him and kick his ass.
00:36:16.967 --> 00:36:21.367
To express all my resentment
and hatred for him,
00:36:21.367 --> 00:36:25.867
same feelings he had
for us, the working class.
00:36:25.867 --> 00:36:29.933
But I didn't have the guts to do it!
00:36:29.933 --> 00:36:33.533
One person did dare to spit
Pinochet's casket, though.
00:36:33.533 --> 00:36:37.100
And that is more than enough.
00:36:37.100 --> 00:36:40.100
Sometimes a spit hurts more than a bullet.
00:37:08.467 --> 00:37:10.733
And then, I stood up.
00:37:10.733 --> 00:37:18.367
I thanked him. I have always
felt gratitude towards him.
00:37:18.367 --> 00:37:20.333
And I walked away.
00:37:20.333 --> 00:37:25.467
I didn't want anyone to talk to me.
00:37:28.667 --> 00:37:31.600
I didn't want to hear not one word said to me.
00:37:33.633 --> 00:37:35.767
I wanted to be alone...
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:41.567
I kept on walking, I wanted to be alone...
00:37:42.200 --> 00:37:44.167
Thinking of him.
00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:48.167
Alone in my sorrow.
00:37:49.100 --> 00:37:50.633
Alone in my gratitude.
00:37:51.967 --> 00:37:53.500
Alone with him.
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:19.800
I was looking at the casket,
the flowers, the guards
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:24.100
until my time was up to go see him...
00:38:25.267 --> 00:38:31.633
I saw him sleeping
without a trace of pain.
00:38:31.633 --> 00:38:37.400
As people kept pushing I kept staring...
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:43.833
Pinochet's face, with his eyes closed,
was stuck in my head.
00:38:43.833 --> 00:38:51.200
I started feeling this insecurity, this anguish.
00:38:51.200 --> 00:38:57.733
As I walked out I felt a lump in my throat.
00:38:57.733 --> 00:39:00.067
I felt like crying.
00:39:00.067 --> 00:39:04.467
As a matter of fact, I did cry.
00:39:07.100 --> 00:39:13.733
I felt so lonely, so insecure.
00:39:13.733 --> 00:39:17.567
I felt that even when I wasn't at fault at all,
00:39:17.567 --> 00:39:21.033
I was going to suffer
the consequences anyways.
00:39:21.033 --> 00:39:24.933
Then while talking with the girls,
00:39:24.933 --> 00:39:27.500
I found out we all felt the same.
00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:32.500
Loneliness, anguish, sorrow, pain.
00:40:08.367 --> 00:40:14.233
At first white powder was coming out.
Then loads of fire too.
00:40:15.500 --> 00:40:18.433
So I was watching La Moneda
being attacked, being bombed.
00:40:18.433 --> 00:40:22.433
I was watching it burn among explosions.
00:40:22.433 --> 00:40:26.367
It didn't last long but it was shocking.
00:40:26.367 --> 00:40:31.167
Because I had to go into La Moneda Palace
to fight comrade Salvador Allende.
00:40:31.167 --> 00:40:36.267
I had nothing to do with it!
I was a soldier and I was carrying orders!
00:40:36.267 --> 00:40:40.033
It was a terrible thing for me
00:40:40.033 --> 00:40:44.400
to have been involved in such
a cruel chapter in Chile's history.
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.933
You, who have come forth to save us.
00:40:47.933 --> 00:40:52.567
Lord, have mercy on us.
00:40:57.567 --> 00:41:00.467
You, who promise us eternal life.
00:41:00.467 --> 00:41:03.933
Christ, have mercy on us.
00:41:17.567 --> 00:41:23.433
I didn't want to keep walking forward
since I felt I was destroying my own house.
00:41:23.433 --> 00:41:27.900
So the corporal told me: 'Go forward!'
-'But don't you see the mess out there?'
00:41:27.900 --> 00:41:32.233
'If you don't walk I'll shoot you
in the fucking head!'
00:41:32.233 --> 00:41:37.667
As I crossed the street I felt
a million bullets go by me.
00:41:37.667 --> 00:41:43.733
Let's raise our prayers brothers,
for the Pope,
00:41:43.733 --> 00:41:48.000
for the Church, the souls
of our dead brothers
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:52.600
and especially for our
General Augusto Pinochet.
00:41:52.600 --> 00:41:54.367
Let's pray our Lord.
00:41:56.600 --> 00:42:03.433
When I got to La Moneda
I went up the stairs.
00:42:03.433 --> 00:42:08.533
Further up, someone came out
from a door shouting:
00:42:08.533 --> 00:42:14.033
'Please don't shoot, soldier!
The President has just comitted suicide!'
00:42:14.033 --> 00:42:18.733
I walked into the room and
there was Salvador Allende, seated.
00:42:26.567 --> 00:42:31.900
Yes, Allende was seated
with the rifle between his legs.
00:42:31.900 --> 00:42:34.567
The shot had come up his chin,
00:42:34.567 --> 00:42:39.467
cracking his moustache, nose
and forehead wide open.
00:42:39.467 --> 00:42:43.833
I stared at him, but I
didn't dare to touch him.
00:42:43.833 --> 00:42:47.200
Another soldier took his pulse.
00:42:47.200 --> 00:42:52.933
I remember him saying:
'He's getting cold'.
00:43:41.233 --> 00:43:45.167
Viva General Pinochet!
00:44:10.067 --> 00:44:14.000
Viva General Pinochet!
00:44:47.600 --> 00:44:51.233
Two weeks after General Pinochet's death,
00:44:51.233 --> 00:44:56.467
I went to renew my kiosk's license
and I was told it had been cancelled.
00:44:57.333 --> 00:45:01.100
-How is it cancelled?
-It is.
00:45:01.100 --> 00:45:05.700
-But why?
-It's what it says on the computer.
00:45:05.700 --> 00:45:12.333
-I've had that license for years!
-It says here it has been cancelled.
00:45:12.333 --> 00:45:16.067
I started asking around,
no one knew anything.
00:45:16.067 --> 00:45:20.967
Nor the Major or the Chief of Inspection
knew why it was cancelled.
00:45:20.967 --> 00:45:25.200
At the end they told me:
'Keep on working anyways'.
00:45:43.767 --> 00:45:51.100
That Saturday I went to work as usual.
00:45:51.100 --> 00:45:55.300
When all of a sudden,
I realize my kiosk is not there.
00:45:55.300 --> 00:45:57.467
The artisans from the Plaza
were staring at me.
00:45:57.467 --> 00:46:05.467
I got cramps in my stomach, I felt dizzy,
I didn't know what to do.
00:46:05.467 --> 00:46:09.933
I left my bags on the floor,
00:46:09.933 --> 00:46:12.800
I took the phone and called my house.
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:17.567
I told my husband: 'My kiosk is not there!
It's been taken away!
00:46:17.567 --> 00:46:22.000
I'm at the Plaza,
but the kiosk is not here!'
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:29.067
He asks me: 'How is that possible?'
-'It's not here, It's been taken away!'
00:46:29.067 --> 00:46:31.800
Our family income came from the kiosk.
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.900
My husband has prostate
cancer and Parkinson's disease.
00:46:35.900 --> 00:46:39.000
My mother has just
had her leg amputated.
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:42.933
I got skin cancer, trying to make
ends meet with my flower stand
00:46:42.933 --> 00:46:44.400
and they take away my kiosk.
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:49.867
It was mine. I had earned it with hard work!
00:46:49.867 --> 00:46:54.633
I hadn't committed any crimes,
I hadn't done anything bad
00:46:54.633 --> 00:46:58.900
so that they would
rip it off the ground like that!
00:46:58.900 --> 00:47:05.100
They took it without a warning,
without any consideration, nothing.
00:47:05.100 --> 00:47:09.433
They just took it because
they wanted to take it!
00:47:09.433 --> 00:47:12.500
What's democracy for, then?
00:47:12.500 --> 00:47:15.700
Where is democracy?
Where are human rights?
00:47:27.667 --> 00:47:31.633
So I started wondering:
'What is gonna happen now?'
00:47:31.633 --> 00:47:38.167
The principal character was dead and
we needed to find new forms of fighting.
00:47:38.167 --> 00:47:42.167
All of a sudden, I said:
'The only way to draw some attention
00:47:42.167 --> 00:47:48.933
is to become Santa Claus.
I have the hair, the beard, the belly, all.'
00:47:48.933 --> 00:47:53.367
That's the way I fight now.
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:22.767
Me, as a natural person,
I wasn't dangerous for the State.
00:49:22.767 --> 00:49:27.667
I would just get water sprayed by
the police and come home soaking wet.
00:49:27.667 --> 00:49:31.467
Now it's different. Now this character in red
00:49:31.467 --> 00:49:34.933
is dangerous for the State.
00:49:34.933 --> 00:49:38.500
They're no longer beating a Chilean citizen.
00:49:38.500 --> 00:49:40.967
They' re not beating a Southamerican.
00:49:40.967 --> 00:49:44.233
They're beating a world famous character.
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:50.033
'Gramps' has died, as right wing crybabies said,
so this Santa Claus has been born.
00:49:50.033 --> 00:49:54.467
He is here to fight for
those who don't have a voice.
00:49:54.467 --> 00:49:58.633
I have been asking for an audience
with the Major for two years!
00:49:58.633 --> 00:50:01.433
They send me here, there
and everywhere instead.
00:50:01.433 --> 00:50:05.833
Wait until they are campaigning though,
they'll knock on your door for your vote.
00:50:05.833 --> 00:50:10.133
But if you need them
to solve your problems,
00:50:10.133 --> 00:50:12.067
they'll slam the door in your face!
00:50:12.067 --> 00:50:14.733
And I will not take that injustice!
00:50:14.733 --> 00:50:17.467
They should have taken me out
of business because of crimes,
00:50:17.467 --> 00:50:19.967
selling drugs or buying stolen goods!
00:50:19.967 --> 00:50:23.667
My family's record is impeccable.
My husband was an Air Force officer.
00:50:23.667 --> 00:50:26.133
We have never commited a felony.
00:50:26.133 --> 00:50:31.100
My three sons are engineers,
they are working for top companies.
00:50:31.100 --> 00:50:36.000
I gave them the best education,
and I'd commit a felony?
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:41.600
There isn't a single shred of evidence
of any kind whatsoever!
00:50:41.600 --> 00:50:45.833
May it be from crime, drugs,
homicides, robberies. Nothing!
00:50:45.833 --> 00:50:47.567
There's no evidence!
00:50:47.567 --> 00:50:50.467
Absolutely! What's your felony here?
00:50:50.467 --> 00:50:55.500
Especially if you are a worker
and your license is up to date.
00:50:55.500 --> 00:50:59.233
This is unacceptable, totally unacceptable.
00:50:59.233 --> 00:51:02.933
And if there is no evidence,
they can't do anything.
00:51:02.933 --> 00:51:04.500
There has to be evidence.
00:51:04.500 --> 00:51:08.267
You can take this to the Supreme Court
00:51:08.267 --> 00:51:12.333
and if the Court doesn't do anything,
this could go international.
00:51:12.333 --> 00:51:17.967
And you can sue them
and make them pay you all.
00:51:17.967 --> 00:51:21.833
Because that is written
in the Constitution.
00:51:21.833 --> 00:51:25.267
Maybe even you saw my kyosk
with parfumed flowers...
00:51:25.267 --> 00:51:30.100
-Of course I saw it.
-See?
00:51:30.100 --> 00:51:32.833
Why they don't tell me the reason!
00:51:35.300 --> 00:51:38.300
Now, I think this was a political matter
00:51:38.300 --> 00:51:41.967
because two weeks after Pinochet's death,
00:51:41.967 --> 00:51:44.467
my license was cancelled!
00:51:44.467 --> 00:51:46.833
-Political persecution.
-Persecution indeed!
00:51:46.833 --> 00:51:49.833
And they say that democracy exists...
00:51:51.367 --> 00:51:54.867
-Good afternoon everyone.
-Good afternoon.
00:51:54.867 --> 00:52:00.400
The social program and political, economical,
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:04.400
historical and cultural studies
September 11, Corporation,
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:07.933
welcomes everyone in the room.
00:52:07.933 --> 00:52:12.933
I want to ask you all to stand up
and sing our National Anthem.
00:52:32.333 --> 00:52:37.467
Please vote by raising your hand.
00:52:38.967 --> 00:52:39.967
Please...
00:52:43.933 --> 00:52:52.733
By unanymous desition, this
board is approved for 2010-2011.
00:52:52.733 --> 00:52:59.167
Please give a round of applause
for our president Juan González.
00:53:07.133 --> 00:53:13.833
And now our newly elected
president will say a few words.
00:53:16.500 --> 00:53:23.200
Quite often, when someones
takes on a job like this one,
00:53:23.200 --> 00:53:26.567
people might criticize.
00:53:26.567 --> 00:53:33.633
Sometimes people think
we seek for protagonism.
00:53:33.633 --> 00:53:38.567
And they say: 'González or Mario...'
00:53:38.567 --> 00:53:41.100
...What?
00:53:41.100 --> 00:53:46.000
Ah, Héctor Durán!
Please stand up and applaud him!
00:53:57.067 --> 00:54:00.933
What are the objectives of the Corporation?
00:54:00.933 --> 00:54:07.133
One of our principal objetives is to defend...
00:54:07.133 --> 00:54:11.967
To defend what was
the Military Government of Chile.
00:54:11.967 --> 00:54:15.367
An excellent government,
that lifted the nation
00:54:15.367 --> 00:54:21.700
after it was left in the worst
possible state imaginable.
00:54:21.700 --> 00:54:24.867
The Military Government lifted this nation.
00:54:24.867 --> 00:54:30.633
Also to reivindicate the figure of
General Augusto Pinochet.
00:54:34.433 --> 00:54:40.567
I am often asked why
do I love the General so much.
00:54:40.567 --> 00:54:43.833
I'm gonna tell you why.
00:54:43.833 --> 00:54:48.400
Because we love the land
we were born in. We love Chile!
00:54:48.400 --> 00:54:56.433
We know how this country
became an example for the world.
00:54:56.433 --> 00:55:00.333
The whole world was amazed at
how prosper and dignified Chile was.
00:55:00.333 --> 00:55:08.067
The force is strong with us!
But the force requires unity.
00:55:08.067 --> 00:55:13.867
That's why I will say: 'Let's unite our
strengths to make Chile a great nation!'
00:55:13.867 --> 00:55:17.867
-Let's unite our strengths to make Chile...!
-A great nation!
00:56:10.100 --> 00:56:17.233
Oh! Holy Father, we are very sad
with General Pinochet's death.
00:56:17.233 --> 00:56:23.700
I ask you to receive him in heaven and have
angels come forth to welcome him.
00:56:23.700 --> 00:56:28.767
I ask you to forgive him if
something bad went on.
00:56:28.767 --> 00:56:32.967
I also plead on behalf of his family.
00:56:32.967 --> 00:56:37.867
I plead on behalf of the nation,
the City Hall employees,
00:56:37.867 --> 00:56:41.833
so they are merciful and finally tell me
why they took away my kiosk.
00:56:41.833 --> 00:56:46.100
I plead to have them give it back to me.
00:56:46.100 --> 00:56:50.967
I need it to buy medicine
for my mom and husband.
00:56:50.967 --> 00:56:55.167
He's got Parkinson's disease
and prostate cancer.
00:56:55.167 --> 00:56:57.800
I plead on his behalf too.
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:02.600
I plead on behalf of my mother,
who had her leg amputated recently.
00:57:02.600 --> 00:57:06.000
Make her pain more bearable.
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:11.367
I plead for myself too, give me the strength
to face this whole situation.
00:57:12.167 --> 00:57:18.033
You are the only one who can
perform miracles, dear and beloved Father.
00:57:18.033 --> 00:57:23.433
I humbly say all this on behalf of
your beloved son Jesus Christ. Amen.
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:40.933
I don't have wings to tell you my wounds.
00:57:40.933 --> 00:57:49.967
And, in the sky clouds go by the snow bird.
00:57:49.967 --> 00:57:59.567
Love, if your pain was mine and mine yours,
00:57:59.567 --> 00:58:04.967
how beautiful it would be...
00:58:04.967 --> 00:58:10.633
My love... To love...
00:58:13.533 --> 00:58:22.033
I don't have a window to show my loneliness
00:58:22.033 --> 00:58:29.700
and even the crystals of silence cry silence.
00:58:29.700 --> 00:58:40.767
Love, if your pain was mine and mine yours
00:58:40.767 --> 00:58:45.833
how beautiful it would be...
00:58:45.833 --> 00:58:52.233
My love... To love...
00:58:52.233 --> 00:59:00.033
But I will have a tomorrow...
00:59:31.933 --> 00:59:38.300
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
01:01:04.967 --> 01:01:11.667
We have come to say goodbye to one
of our Nation's most notorious sons.
01:01:11.667 --> 01:01:17.733
Only a few weeks ago, on a lunch party
organized for his last birthday,
01:01:17.733 --> 01:01:21.267
and maybe having a premonition
of what was to come,
01:01:21.267 --> 01:01:26.567
he moved us all by saying the following:
01:01:26.567 --> 01:01:30.400
'I swear on my mother's name,
that I have never, ever!
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:34.300
comitted an improper act of which
I should feel ashamed of'.
01:01:45.167 --> 01:01:49.433
You were born a boy in Valparaíso's hills.
01:01:49.433 --> 01:01:53.600
You trained under the
iron discipline of the military rigor.
01:01:53.600 --> 01:01:56.433
You served and transformed Chile,
01:01:56.433 --> 01:02:02.167
turning it from a destroyed country
into a great nation.
01:02:02.167 --> 01:02:07.200
Today we say goodbye to
the best president in Chile's history!
